Definitions
- This disclosure relates generally to reinforced structural panels for use in the field of building construction and building construction materials.
- Structural insulated sheathing (SIS) panels can be used in standard construction practice. Such panels typically consist of an insulating core and one or more structural layers.
- the structural layer may be a wood or wood composite material, such as oriented strand (OSB) board, or plywood; cementitious material such as magnesium oxide, or gypsum; steel; aluminum; and fiber-reinforced plastic.
- OSB oriented strand
- the use of SIS panels offers many advantages over traditional construction that consists of framing and scaffolding. As such panels are made off-site, assembly is significantly quicker and labor costs are significantly lower; and their use in a wall, roof, or structure helps provide, a more energy-efficient structure.
- Cladding such as siding or shingles, etc. are typically secured to SIS via fasteners, and it is desirable and that the fasteners adequately secure the cladding to the SIS.
- the SIS help prevent the withdrawal of the fastener in the final wall or structure, and that the SIS has improved mechanical integrity. It is believed that increased fastening withdrawal properties and shear values of the SIS will allow better performance and new applications for the SIS; for example, use in high-wind zones, heavy weight claddings, or roof attachments.
- metal strip reinforcements might be used in panels, metal can be subject to corrosion resulting from water ingress into the board, either by damage to the board during construction or from poorly-sealed openings in the boards, and other types of chemical corrosion are possible.
- a panel particularly an insulated panel suitable for use as structural insulated sheathing (SIS), that is provided with increased fastening withdrawal properties and mechanical integrity when used with cladding without the risk of corrosion.
- SIS structural insulated sheathing
- a reinforced structural panel having an insulation layer, an outer layer adjacent a first lateral surface of the insulation layer, and a plurality of reinforcement structures within the reinforced structural panel.
- the plurality of reinforcement structures are fixed between the insulating layer and the outer layer.
- the reinforcement structures may be wood or a cementitious material.
- the reinforced structural panel may further include an additional outer layer on the opposite lateral side of the insulation layer.
- the additional outer layer may comprise an additional plurality of reinforcement structures fixed between the insulation layer and the additional outer layer.
- each of the reinforcement structures may be equal in length to the outer layer. Additionally, or alternatively, each of the reinforcement structures may be greater than or equal to one inch wide and less than or equal to twelve inches wide. In some embodiments, each of the reinforcement structures may be greater than or equal to two inches wide and less than or equal to five inches wide. In some embodiments, each of the reinforcement structures may be greater than or equal to two inches wide and less than or equal to three inches wide. In some embodiments, the depth of each of the reinforcement structures is greater than or equal to 0.25 inch and less than or equal to 1.5 inch. Additionally, or alternatively, each of the reinforcement structures has a density equal to the density of the outer layer. In some embodiments, each of the reinforcement structures has a density greater than the density of the outer layer.
- the external surface of the outer layer may contain markings indicating the location of each of the reinforcement structures. Additionally, or alternatively, the external surface of the outer layer may contain a water-resistant barrier.
- the outer layer comprises magnesium oxide.
- the outer layer comprises gypsum. Additionally, or alternatively, the outer layer comprises cementitious board.
- the outer layer and each of the reinforcement structures comprise magnesium oxide.
- the insulating layer comprises polyurethane.
- a method of making reinforced structural panels including adhering a plurality of reinforcement structures, comprised of wood or cementitious material, to a surface of a board and applying an insulating layer to the plurality of reinforcement structures and the surface of the board.
- the board may be wood, gypsum, magnesium oxide, or cement.
- the method further includes forming a reinforcement structure.
- the method further includes applying a second board to the insulating layer.
- the second board may first be adhered with a plurality of reinforcement structures.
- the method further includes applying a water- resistant barrier to an outward-facing surface of the board.
- a method of forming a reinforcement structure is claimed. The method of forming a reinforcement structure including: obtaining a panel of wood or cementitious material; and cutting, from the panel, a strip of the same length as the panel. In some embodiments, the strip is between one and twelve inches wide. Additionally, or alternatively, the strip may between two and four inches wide.
- the method of forming a reinforcement structure further includes forming the panel.
- Forming the panel includes: pouring a slurry of uncured cementitious product into a mold and curing the cementitious product.
- the slurry of uncured cementitious product comprises magnesium oxide and glass fiber.
- the method of forming a reinforcement structure includes applying an adhesive to the strip.

- first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Terms such as “first,” “second,” and other numerical terms when used herein do not imply a sequence or order unless clearly indicated by the context. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the example embodiments.
- Spatially relative terms such as “inner,” “outer,” “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper,” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
- the reinforcement within the panel is designed to improve the strength and mechanical integrity of the outer layer, and therefore the SIS as a whole.
- the reinforcement measures within the panel allow for commonly accepted engineering design to be utilized for the cladding attachment loads in higher wind zones equivalent to a structural facer while maintaining greater thermal efficiency as the insulation is truly continuous as defined within the IECC (International Energy Conservation Code) as a material that is unbroken except mechanical openings and fasteners. Since the fasteners used to attach the sheathing to the stud will likely be installed through the reinforcement measures, the outer reinforcement measures then become the structural face and maintaining greater than 97% thermal efficiency.
- This reinforcement strips combined with the outer layer serve to spread the point load of a cladding fastener over the wall panel in a distributed load. This load spreading allows the cladding fastener withdrawal force to increase in a non-linear manner over the traditional methodology of only a single sheet panel, and often times increasing the shear and withdrawal values to double or greater the single sheet values.
